Default Disco died.......... again!!!! (Furious)



Well after being off the road for 6 MONTHS - we finally got the discovery back on monday after having a recon gearbox fitted and having to shell out for new pipework as it seemed that whilst at the previous location, someone was helping themselves to my pipework

So with a rather large bill - we collected the disco on Monday - was told to drive at 50mph for 500 miles to bed the gearbox in - and low and behold on the the A130 yesterday with 4 kids on board, the gearbox went (having only covered 345 miles at 50 mph!!! Having NEVER paid SO much money on one vehicle in 1 year and consistently driven SO slow in my life - i'm rather annoyed

No idea how it went?

(just thought i'd share all that with ya )

What are you on about, 3 hardness levels of suspension, suspension on the driver/passenger seats, leather and heated seats .......... What more comfyness do you need ?

My older brother had an up to date Disco and the one thing that he complained about was the seats that resembled sitting on sheets of ply

Even if you find the Disco more comfy, what is more important ............ Comfort or reliability ?
